Heaven-Bent HUMOR: The DEAN Adventures Is FREE August 22-26, 2014



Heaven-Bent HUMOR: The DEAN Adventures


Wouldn’t You Rather Have Your Humor Be Heaven-Bent Than Bent The Other Way

Whether Dean backpacks with Bigfoot in Bermuda, time-travels with movie stars, or inadvertently destroys worlds beyond ours, this guy knows how to have fun! Enjoy his crazy, quite possibly insane, adventures! 

What will Dean do with the billions he makes by his books? Find out inside! And encourage billions of others to do so too. Especially if they buy them all and pay full price! 

Inventive, funny, suspenseful, each story provides a mini-vacation away from the burdens of your day. So get your ticket to fun now; and start reading. Destination: Comedy! Full of new funny jokes and guaranteed to make you laugh.* 

Before you buy this book, take a Look Inside! 

Check out the Table of Contents! The actual “adventures” don’t start until “The Perfect Plan: Foiled!” (or “Spice Boy”, or “My O.B.E.”, depending on how you define adventure). We included a few “non-adventurous” pieces to lay the groundwork for the adventures, or because they related somehow, or we just thought they were funny. Or simply to pad the book to make it look more impressive! 

Although most of these crazy, intrepid, and entertaining tales stand alone, they still tie together to build to a shock ending. 

Snippets


Proof that this is a work of fiction: I did not put peanut butter on the brownies. If you see me eating a brownie without first applying peanut butter, that is not me, but an evil clone, an alien cyborg, or a shape-shifter who must be destroyed! Or given a jar of peanut butter. 

Don’t forget to wrap your head in aluminum foil too, so those intergalactic fiends can’t read your mind. Otherwise, no one else in the field of extra-terrestrial relations will take you seriously. 
The pinwheel hat is optional. 

My secret sources on this matter are uncharacteristically convoluted and unclear about the exact details. But why would somebody post something on the Internet, if it’s not true? 

The “handsomest” of them resembled Bigfoot. Only with ZZ Top beards and a Snidely Whiplash mustache. Strange race indeed. 
And that was just their women! 

I don’t want to be remembered for that! Instead, remember me for my sense of humor, thoughtfulness, and great legs. Best of all would be being remembered for being Rachel Bilson’s trophy husband! 

They had the dumbest entertainment too! Some dude in a designer pinstriped suit waved a pocket watch back and forth while chanting repeatedly: “You will do as I say. You will do as I say.” 

Never thought I’d wind up in jail. 
An asylum? Sure. It’s a such crazy world, you’d be nuts not to go insane. 

Don’t fall in love with a psycho; she’ll only break your heart. Or cut it out and feed it to the pigeons. 

I’m too exciting for most women. The majority of them want someone boring. It’s true. Their date ads say they don’t want men who play games. 
But I say, what’s wrong with Pictionary? 
It’s like charades on paper! 

Good times to be sure. But if Andy Warhol’s words are true, about each person getting his/her own 15 minutes of fame, I’ve still got another 14 minutes and 57 seconds coming!

More Excerpts:

Because nothing honors a person’s memory 
more than having a potato chip 
with that person’s likeness enshrined for all to see. 
_______

The government should charge 
a hefty Non-Superhero Tax to billionaires 
who aren’t superheroes, 
to fund folks who want to be superheroes, 
but can’t afford the exorbitant costs 
of costuming and gadgetry. 
_______

My neighbor baked me cookies. 
Isn’t that sweet? 
She wanted to thank me 
for helping her bury her grandfather 
in a new vegetable garden in her backyard. 
She couldn’t afford a coffin or a burial plot, 
so I helped her out, because I know how tough times are. 
The weird thing is, 
her grandfather resembled her husband 
who’s been missing ever since. 
_______

Since Bigfoot and I had so much fun 
backpacking in Bermuda, 
we decided to go camping. 
Sadly, many campground owners are raving species-ists. 
They don’t allow “animals” to stay at their campgrounds. 
More sadly, um, sadliericious, 
they think of Bigfoot as an animal and not a hairy uncle.

Why Some Kindle Authors Make Their Books Available for FREE



Why Some Kindle Authors 
Make Their Books 
Available for FREE
by

For instance, purely as an example and/or a shameless plug, Heaven-Bent HUMOR: The DEAN Adventures Is FREE August 22-26, 2014:

http://www.amazon.com/Heaven-Bent-HUMOR-Adventures-
Wouldnt-Rather-ebook/dp/B00CDGV9Q8


So why in the world do some Kindle authors make their books available for FREE? Have they been overly medicated during troubling times? Were they conked on the head with a jumbo-sized candy cane and now they think they're Santa Claus? Or, Stan Lee-style, were they bitten by a radioactive generous person? 

The most common reason Kindle authors make their books available for FREE is to accrue as many "sales" as possible. Although we don't get paid for the "sale" of FREE books, we get recognition for them in the Amazon system. So much so that a book with 10,000 copies given away may rank higher than a book that has actually sold 9,000 paid copies. (Other factors affect ranking, but I think a FREE "sale" does count as much as a paid sale.) 

So that's  why, technically, it doesn't even "matter" if you even read the FREE book. At least in a business sense. But being writers, of course we want you to read our work. So much so that a FREE book can be considered a sample of our style, so that you'll be more likely to come back and buy our other books. 

So yes, we want our books to rank higher; and we want to be read. But also, the ideal scenario is to garner a slew of 5-Star Reviews. That's a major goal for all writers. Not only to bolster our fragile egos, but to increase our ranking even higher and to help us make "real" sales. I.e., to get paid. Because 5-Star Reviews give an author "street cred". 

Another goal, not used by all writers, is to get sales via embedded affiliate links within the book. Which works better when using relevant products with nonfiction books. 

Some writers offer a Freebie inside their books too, but the only way you can get that Freebie is to visit their page and submit your email address. I've never done that yet, but it's a viable way to build a list of people interested in what one has to offer. And when you have a new book coming out, you can email them to let them know.

I suppose that another reason, for some writers, might be to generate good "Karma" by offering one's work for FREE. By doing so, such authors expect The Universe to pay them back in other ways. Like a bunch of paid sales. And/or a mega-hot trophy spouse.

Those are the main goals that I can think of as to why Kindle authors make their books available for FREE. But another reason why I'm making this particular book available for FREE is to help promote my blog Heaven-Bent HUMOR

Please Note
I admit the following comedy sketch is way too long!
But we were making a show 
where we needed to fill up lots of time, 
so that's what I did.  
It's still funny, possibly even hilarious, 
so the long setup does lead 
to a fun and funny ending for the last two minutes. 
Plus there are lots of jokes before then too.
Please Enjoy!

More Excerpts from
Heaven-Bent HUMOR: The DEAN Adventures:

There are two things you need to know about me, 
two very important things: 
One, I always mean well. 
Two, most of what I say is meant to be funny. 
And three, sometimes I say more than I should.  
_______

My friends worry about me 
when we watch superhero movies. 
‘Cause afterwards, I’ll say, “That was fun. 
But that’s not how it really happened.” 
_______

Aquaman in the desert 
won’t do anyone any good. 
Especially himself. 
In fact, he’ll just get on everyone else’s nerves. 
More so than he already does with his 
stinking up the Hall of Justice with his fish odors. 
Eau de Phish is not a big-selling cologne. 
And Water Boy’s always leaving 
inexplicable puddles all over the place.  
_______

Sure, she’s a little high strung. 
But we always made each other laugh.
I mean, when she wasn’t trying to kill me.
_______


The people bowed before Elvis, but yanked me away. 
Elvis marched after me, quickly, but with quiet dignity. 
Seems like he really is a king. And I’m really lunch! 
The natives led me to a boiling pot, ripped off my clothes, and held me down to decapitate me with a machete. 
“Um, Elvis? If you’re not too busy, could you, um, take a moment out of your hectic day; and please, please, please, HELP!!!!!!!
_______

My life flashed before my eyes as my head and upper torso fell into the shark’s mouth. I remembered the fun I had time-traveling. I regretted not being able to make Jennifer Lawrence the happiest woman in the world.
Or her and a friend.
If her friend was named Carly Rae.
Other than that, I already planned the perfect last day of my life, so I was ready to check out. I just didn’t want to. Not through the intestinal tract of an overgrown guppy with fangs.   

Please Note:
You need to turn the volume 
all the way up lot for this one!
This one was written by Richard Eldridge, 
but I added a funny line or two as well. ;o)
Stars the beautiful and highly talented Vivienne Brown.

Bonus Excerpts:


          If you wish history hadn’t been altered; and you’d rather live in a world
where every meal requires copious clumps of ketchup, then blame me.
I just wanted to hang out and be cool with the Holly Boys.
I thought for sure at least one of them would hook me up with a bikini supermodel.
One with a heart of gold, of course, because I’m not shallow.
          Too bad Travolta broke my time machine. Still intent on riding a pterodactyl,
he thought he could push any button he wanted as long as he imagined
where he wanted to go. He even tried clicking his heels together and chanting:
“There’s no place like the late Jurassic period. There’s no place like the late Jurassic period.”

          The government keeps the formula for that synthetic fuel
in a secret underground vault, along with the cures for cancer, rickets, and hiccups;
as well as the formulas for Coca-Cola, KFC original recipe chicken,
and the ingredients of a Big Mac (although a double agent released that information
to the public in the 1970s via a catchy jingle).

... I was placed under armed guard and was supposed to be shot and hung at dawn.
Or as soon as they could decide which to do first.
          Had it not been my execution, I would’ve explained how hanging
gives the shooters a moving target as the body flails around.
But the only suggestion I offered was, “There’s a new way to execute traitors.
You fill them with chocolate, until they smile to death, or burst apart.”

           --“Shut up!” yelled the seedy-looking lad. “I don’t mind a moving target. 
But a yapping one makes it hard for me to think.”
          “Oh really?” I asked.           “Yes!”           I called out, “Everyone yap!”           Constable McBrody talked about how he joined the force so he could make a difference.           Captain McSquint, for some odd reason, blathered on about split ends and his inability 
to find satisfactory hair products that could handle the salt air.           Even Nessie clicked, clacked, and whistled in that way that she does. 
No one else could interpret, except me, so I knew she forgave me. 
She knew I’d never muck up so royally on purpose.           Whereas I bemoaned the fact that I never got to marry a supermodel heiress 
to a chocolate fortune. She wouldn’t even have to juggle or play the ukulele. 
Those talents were just options. Not necessities. She’d still need a heart of gold though. 
Or she’d have to be a super dee duper supermodel. With a heart of silver or bronze. 
At the very least nickel or copper. Possibly pyrite, but only if she’s a contortionist too.           Somehow blocking out our auditory distractions, 
the seedy-looking lad got me in his sights and pulled the trigger.
           Kablam!            Ow! Why did he shoot me?! I’m the funny one!
           Aren’t I?

More Snippets!


From Heaven-Bent HUMOR: 
The DEAN Adventures:
With Jacko tagging along, 
I now know how the Abominable Snowman 
learned the Moonwalk. 
Silly yeti! 
He almost fell off a couple cliffs 
dancing backwards so much. 
Obviously trying to impress Jacko. 
Which also explains why the Abominable Snowman 
kept saying the word Thriller. 

From Heaven-Bent HUMOR: 
The DEAN Adventures:
The “handsomest” of them resembled Bigfoot. 
Only with ZZ Top beards 
and a Snidely Whiplash mustache. 
Strange race indeed. 
And that was just their women! 

From Heaven-Bent HUMOR: 
The DEAN Adventures:
I feel so sick, 
that National Geographic explorers 
keep coming to my house. 
Apparently, when I don’t feel well, 
I make the exact same sounds as a dying yeti. 
Or a plesiosaur giving birth. 

From Heaven-Bent HUMOR: 
The DEAN Adventures:
The singing sensation continued, 
“Here, no one knows I faked my death; 
and no one knows me as Elvis, 
the King of Rock and Roll. 
Instead they know me as”--
--He led me into a cave 
filled with hundreds of primitive people 
who cheered at Elvis and shouted in unison: 
“Kimosabe!” 
“They think you’re the Lone Ranger?!” 

From Heaven-Bent HUMOR: 
The DEAN Adventures:
The plaster started to crack, 
which meant that with just a little more pressure, 
I’d be pulled in half. 
Or pulled so far apart, 
I’d be left paralyzed from the eyebrows down. 
One side yanked; the other side yanked. 
Both sides yelled. 
It looked like this could be the end of me! 
So why couldn’t they wait one more day? 
Tonight’s supper was supposed to be PBJ Soufflé! 


From Heaven-Bent HUMOR: 
The DEAN Adventures:
 That was either Bigfoot crying because he missed me. 
Or the Scorpion King got his tail 
caught under an automatic garage door again. 
What a klutz!



All the Best,
